Rose Y. We always have
such a good time at the G.'s,

me by the argument with my

When we make a move to leave,
the G.'s ask, 'Why so early?'

Herman says no thanks and
good night.
Herman Y. We get invited
back so often because we know
when to leave. It's natural for
the G.'s as hosts to put on an
act of being sorry to see us go.
Does Rose think they'll come
right out and say, Look, we're
tired? Hasn't she enough sense
to know when to call it a day?

guest. It would not be for such
as him that Sacha Guitry would
post his famous sign; "Guests
invited for the week end are
kindly requested not to stay
longer than the following
Wednesday." Ask yourself, Rose
what else, besides entertaining
you, your host might like to
undertake but can't, until you
leave. Behind many a smiling,
"Please stay," may be a mental
teletype reading, "Please say
No, because we can't go on be
ing civil so long. The minute
you go wc can let loose and
have the real good spat we've
been storing up" ... In other
words, Rose, quit while you're
ahead. "Why so early?" may be
honestly asked. On the other
hand it may be drawled out be
tween yawns and add up to
sheer sarcasm. You must know
your host very intimately before
taking such verbal courtesies
literally.

Eisenhower Has No
Favorites in GOP
NEW YORK (UPI) - Former
President Dwight D. Eisenhow
er said Sunday he had no fa
vorites for the GOP presidential
nomination and stressed that the
party had a "wealth of men"
from which to choose a candi
date. At the same time Eisenhower,
in a copyrighted dispatch in the
New York Herald Tribune, de
nied reports that he opposed
Sen. Barry M. Goldwater (R
Ariz.) for the nomination.
However, Eisenhower said he
was "unclear on precisely" what
Goldwater's present views are.
He said that only when candi
dates mentioned for the nomina
tion "are on record with their
current views will the party be
in a position to make the most
intelligent choice.
"I think all Republicans would
want to learn more about how
he (Goldwater) and each of the
other possible candidates would
nov approach the issues of
1964," he added.

Hubert Alderson said today he
made his house burglar proof af
ter a theft then had to call
police when he locked himself
out.

Cystic Fibrosis in Children
During September, the Na
tional Cystic Fibrosis Research
Foundation, of 521 Fifth ave.,
New York 17, N. Y., is conduct
ing a campaign for funds which
will be used in
a search for
medicines that
may help the
many children
who now suffer
from this
chronic and in
herited disease.
About 1 in
every 1,000 in
fants is likelv
to be born with this very trouble
some ailment in which both the
pancreas (the big degestive
gland behind the stomach) and
the lungs work poorly.
They work poorly because in
this disease the normally wat
ery secretions which run out
from the pancreas into the bowel,
and the normally rather fluid
bits of mucus which come up
from the lungs, are thick and
glue-like. Because the secre
tions of the pancreas are not
normal, there is poor digestion
in the bowel, and hence many
of the children have trouble
gaining weight and strength.
Others have much trouble
with their lungs. They cannot
easily cough up their sputum,
and so sometimes they have to
be kept in so-called "mist"
tents, in which the air contains
a drug designed to make the
choking mucus thinner and
more fluid.
Before 1945, most of these
children died before they were
a year old, but today those who
are well-treated, commonly go
into their teens, and even into
adult life. Today, we physicians
are coming to realize that some
adults with queer digestive and
lung troubles have probably had
since infancy a mild form of
cystic fibrosis.
The word "cystic" means that
the pancreas contains a lot of
cysts little bags of fluid. "Fi
brosis" means that the pancreas
and the lungs contain an ab
normal amount of fibrous tissue
similar to the gristle in meat.
The affected children tend to
be bright if anything, brighter
than normal. Many have an un
usually good sense of taste and

smell. Of late it has been found
that they lose an abnormally
large amount of salt in their
sweat. Actually, there is a sim
ple test which can show that the
sweat on a child's hand is full
of salt. This generally confirms
the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
In the old days, the diagnosis
was probably often missed, be
cause the disease can produce
the clinical picture of a chronic
bronchitis, an asthma, a whoop
ing cough, a pneumonia, or a
chronic diarrhea.
That the trouble is inherited
is shown by the fact that broth
ers and sisters can be similarly
afflicted. Usually the parents
show no sign of it, but they are
"carriers" who are able to
pass the defect on to their child
ren. Apparently these children
are born without some body
chemical which is essential to
the normal functioning of the
pancreas and lungs.
One of the earliest signs of
the disease can be a sort of in
testinal obstruction in the just
born infant. His bowels will not
move, and in the worst eases
he may have to be operated on
so that his life may be saved.
The children with cystic fibrosis
have poor resistance to infec
tions with harmful germs. I now
read that the disease is respon
sible for most of the serious
chronic lung disease met with
among American children to
day. It rivals cancer as a cause of
death up to the age of 15 years.
The annual toll in lives is larger
than that due formerly to in
fantile paralysis. There are prob
ably 25,000 children now in this
country with the disease, and
the number is increasing. The
child is likely to be coughing
all the time, and perhaps wheez
ing. He is likely to have large
bulky and foul-smelling bowel
movements; and in spite of a big
appetite, he finds it hard to gam
weight. It is important that the
diagnosis be made early, so that
proper treatment can be started.
Fluid Studied
Often when the sick child is
first seen, the doctor's provisi
onal diagnosis is celiac disease.
But then he x-rays the chest
and makes a sweat test, and
perhaps he passes a small tube
down through the stomach, and

Apartment House
Residents Chased
PORTLAND (UPI) - About 50
persons, some of them elderly,
were forced to flee early Sunday
when fire swept through part of
the May Apartments here.
Susan Graham, 18, was treated
for smoke inhalation and John
Nysmyth, another resident of
the four-story building, suffered
a cut hand when he smashed
the glass out of a fire alarm.
Firemen used ladder trucks
to rescue 15 persons huddled on
fire escapes.
CLAIMS POTATO RECORD
FUNTINGTON, England
(UPI) Farmer John Cooke,
who claimed a world record last
year when he grew 350 pounds
of potatoes from six plants, said
today he has grown 391 pounds
from another six plants this
year.
obtains for study some of the
pancreatic fluid from the upper
end of the small bowel. This
last test may show that this
fluid lacks normal amounts of
the digestive secretions that
come from the pancreas.
Sometimes the physician can
guess what the trouble is the
minute he sees that the child
was born with a rectal prolapse
(some of the rectum comes
through the anus to the outside).
This occurs in one out of four
cases of cystic fibrosis. Occa
sionally the child will early get
cirrhosis of the liver.
These children can be greatly
helped by being given large
amounts of pancreatic extract,
which helps them to digest
their food. The diet should be
high in protein and low in fatty
foods. Vitamins A and B should
probably be given.
Everyone who is interested
and who can afford it would do
well to support the Cystic Fi
brosis Foundation, especially
with funds which can make
available more research. Peo
ple who have affected children
can get the address of local
branches of the Foundation from
the central office.
